What Students Are Saying

Take a day from school and visit the campus...ask questions during the tour and meet with the head of the department you're looking into. They have so much to tell you!
Jenna from Ashland, KY
Try to look at scholarships specific to this school in September of your senior year. There are several that are specific to this time when some people are just starting to look. If you get your foot in the door during this time, you will do much better financially. Also, make sure you are ready to wake up at 2 am for fire drills. Yes, this will happen at any school you go to.
Catherine from Louisville, KY
Get involved! try out for athletic teams, sororities, frats, join clubs, anything getting involved definitely makes living on campus fun! Try to meet with your adviser at least once every two months, so that you can create a professional relationship with them, this could help you in the long run!
Shianne from Elizabethtown, KY
I recommend getting involved on campus on move in day and meeting new people. The block party is a lot of fun for that! I also reccomend you live in a four person suite, in Mignon or West Mignon. I love having all the room, my own shower and bathroom.
Ashley from Chavies, KY
Ask questions. Everyone around here is willing to help and answer any questions you have about anything. Literally, anything. It is a great place to go to school.
Lauren from Harrodsburg, KY
Get Ms. Faith McCoy for Speech, she's great!!!
Jackie from Ashcamp, KY
Be sure to do whatever you can to cut through all of the red tape as soon as you possibly can. The sooner everything gets taken care of the less you have to worry about it and the less frustrating it is.
Shannon from Grayson, KY
Apply for every scholarship you are eligible for. Ask lots of questions about anything you need more information about.
Allie from Clearfield, KY
If you are seriously considering going here you really need to think about joining a fraternity or sorority. Greek life is pretty much an unspoken requirement here. Get invoked in something while you are here so you can make friends and don't drive yourself crazy.
Abbey from London, KY
To any prospective students, I suggest that you take a college visit to your the campus and see how beautiful it is. Also, if you have picked out a major, talking to the department chair of that major will allow you to see if Morehead is a good choice for you in pursuing that major.
